Gasoline Supply Barometer

摘要

The consecutive string of expanding gasoline demand has this result: U.S. gasoline stocks fell 1.24 million barrels to 223.685 barrels, even as refinery utilization rates surged to almost 89% of capacity.rnSome think the rise in refinery production rates will put downward pressure on prices, but the market hasn't shown that trend yet.rnEven odder is the crude stock situation at Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for the NYMEX contract. Cushing stocks rose another 450,000 barrels to 34.6 million barrels, which is within a million barrels of their all-time high.
